ATTENTION:

Defrosting—Do not use sharp, pointed
objects to remove frost or ice from
surfaces of the refrigerator and/or
freezer compartment. Doing so could
puncture the cooling coil, causing the
unit to lose its ability to maintain cold
temperatures and voiding the warranty.
See the Care and Cleaning section for
instructions on defrosting the
refrigerator and/or freezer
compartment.
